When you want it, you do it!

As many of you already know, I am former chiropractic office manager, and currently a client relation specialist (among other things) at Maximum Fitness. It's a personal training facility in Mt. Washington, we even won Best Gym and Best Personal Training (yes, I just plugged that). I work out regularly, though its not so much as working out as it is training my body for anything and everything. I eat well, but by no means am I perfect. I am human, like everyone else. I fail but I get back up again. Getting back up again is the most important part.

You've got to have goals and you've got to work for them. I get so tired of hearing people complain about not being able to lose weight or eat right. I've heard it all at this point and I haven't even been here that long. As someone who coaches people and helps them, for free might I add, I get frustrated when I waste my breath. ( I now know why Kyle used to just drop his head and shake it if I complained about food) If you aren't going to follow a plan that works, I'm not going to waste my time. Imagine you scolding your child for getting into the cookie jar, day after damn day. You get irritated at some point right and you just want to yell. "I've told you 100 times to not do that".  You know I'm right. 

I'm not a doctor, nor am I someone with degrees in nutriton, BUT I will tell you I have alot of experience in nutrition. I fought my own battles, learned to cook only 1 year ago, when I started boot camp. Kyle told me I had to follow this diet, I had to learn to cook and honestly I was pissed. Like I don't have enough to do as it is. Uggh. If I left the cooking to someone else, say my fat loving, butter pouring, fried food husband, well,  I was going to remain fat.

You control what you put in your body. When you do control what you put in your body and its the "right" fuel, you go further. Your energy lasts longer. If you have more energy, you accomplish more, meaning more energy to cook or play with your child or work out harder. If you are working out harder and making healthier food choices then you will see results in your performance, weight and overall health. All this sounds elementary but sometimes people need to hear it, read it, see it.

I work 11-12 hours everyday, plus I do all the laundry at home, cleaning, and most of the cooking (now that I have Davey converted he helps). I also work part time at the chiropractic clinic on the weekends. I still find time to cook. I usually make alot of something and eat on it for a couple days, plan snacks etc. If I can do it, you can do it. Instead of sitting down when you get home from work, start cooking, get everything done for the next day. Then sit down and rest. If you're anything like me, once I sit my butt on the couch, its pure relax mode after that. I still manage to be in bed by 10 or 1030 every night.

 Now, if you read this and think I'm talking to you in particular, well I am. If you read this and start getting defensive or start making excuses..then that's why I posted this. I'm not singling anyone out,  I want everyone to succeed.

When you want it, you do it! *stepping off soap box*
